Systematically present claims for prior learning assessment for the learning outcomes of two courses in the Graduate Diploma in Tertiary Education: This will be supported by evidence, which demonstrates the ability to provide a persuasive account of learning from work/practice and how this informs your professional identity and development. |
Pathway within the course
The course is conducted over a set period and is structured though a series of modules designed to enable you to meet the learning outcomes. It is delivered primarily through an online approach focused:
- on the material in this module
- facilitated support provided via e-mail, telephone, online
- possible workshops online or face-to-face information sessions
- access to the Polytechnic’s learning resources centre and use of the library system online and in person
Within this course there are a series of activities and tasks that we believe will be useful in facilitating you to identify and capture the breadth and depth of understandings that you have from your teaching experience, and to undertake critical reflection on this. We strongly encourage you to undertake these activities and to use them in your portfolio.
This course is designed to help you reflect on your work/practice and to recognise the impact that you have in your workplace.
your course facilitator and along support from the GDTE team I will be here to support you as you explore and deepen your understanding of your work and working environment and to help you with the preparation of your presentation for assessment. We will provide feedback on any draft pieces you submit and will give you support and advice and make suggestion on how to strengthen what you are exploring. Make good use of us as we are here to support you throughout and to guide you towards a successful outcome.
There are five distinct phases to your preparation:
1. unpacking and scoping of your integrated experience
2. drawing out underpinning knowledge, skills, philosophy, values, beliefs
3. reconstruction of your learning from experience, reformatting within parameters of qualification
4. reconstructing specific case studies and stories to illustrate your understandings
5. development of the framework for your assessment presentation
